Scenes from an Accidental Courtship by Sorrel, R

[zats-clear.livejournal.com]

In my earlier rec, Sam and Daniel let their hair down pretty fast.  I realize some of you may prefer a more measured approach to their ultimate coupling so I present this stumble, not to the bedroom, but to a more solid and potentially satisfying conclusion.

Why This Must Be Read:  Sorrel deftly weaves her story in and out of canon, adding layers of probability and likelihood to Sam and Daniel's relationship.  It is not a smooth and straight path to a feather pillow landing, however, and this is what makes  her story interesting.  Their discussion of the ramifications of Sam's hallucinations during Grace is bittersweet but has the ring of truth.  You, the reader, will find it difficult to put down this 25K word tale of the evolution of friendship to love.  And, for those looking for further adventures, Sorrel has expanded Scenes to include some additional action with other future stories!  Thanks for the toy at the bottom of the cracker jack box, Sorrel!
